USA source it seems. For your shopping pleasure. They have some very unique looking straights as well.

Are these the Indian (subcontinent in Asia) manufactured Gillettes?

The seller is located in Pakistan, but cash usually trumps politics. Look how many taiwan computers are actually made in mainland china.

But Pakistani razors are known to be junk. I wonder if the blades are any better.

Joe, Well, those Pakistani knock off straight razors are notoriously poor, but we had a thread here not long ago on these '7 o'clock' Indian DE blades that seemed to suggest that they were at least tolerable. At least that's how I interpreted the gist of that thread. Didn't make me want to jump up and hunt some down though. Regards, Gordon

India has always had a respected steel industry. The famous Damascus steel actually originated in India. That's why I find it so strange that the Pakistani razors are so awful.
